As outlined in our snapshot presentations; Africa’s digital transformation is well underway, with emerging technologies quickly redefining how people connect, work and transact. But full potential hinges on the critical foundation of scalable, robust mobile infrastructure. 

This panel will explore how infrastructure is enabling access to cutting-edge emerging technologies. The challenges of deployment, regulatory hurdles, assess commercial models that support sustainable rollout, and the role of investment and collaboration in closing the gap. 

• What impact is the adoption of handsets, AI and emerging technology on mobile operator revenues? 

• How is this growth in data demand transferring into infrastructure spend? 

• Is the current speed of network deployment enough to keep pace?  

• Ensuring low-income and remote communities are not left behind the technology curve 

• What does each panellist see as the biggest ‘game changer’ to unlock the next phase of digital transformation?
